Who we work with

Different sectors, different headaches. Here's what we usually walk into.

Is consultancy what you need?

You might not need full consultancy. Sometimes it's the right training, the right hire, or the budget in a better place. Most people come to us with one of these.
Every one of those is the same problem. Nobody in the building is senior enough to call it.

Budget and channels

What's earning its keep. What's carried on out of habit. Where the next pound goes.

Measurement

Whether your marketing is working in real terms, not vanity metrics.

Building the team

Who you need in house, who you buy in, and what each should cost. Job specs, interviews and the first ninety days if you want them.

Who we work with

Different sectors, different headaches. Here's what we usually walk into.

We've run the business, not just advised on one

Our founder - Jade Arnell built Rebellion Marketing from nothing to £1.7M and sold it in January 2025 and has built Four more businesses since.

Loads of people can tell you what good marketing looks like. Fewer have had to pay wages out of it.

What you're buying is the decision made properly the first time. Which channels, what budget, who does it, in what order, and what you stop doing to pay for it. That's the expensive part to get wrong and the cheapest part to get right.

15+ years in business. Agency side and in house, still doing the job.
Built from a standing start to a £1.7M exit. We've run the business, not just advised on one.
Consulted for over one hundred UK businesses across the career so far.
We've made every mistake going. You get the shortcut.

How it works

1 Before we start A call

Forty five minutes, free. What the business does, what the marketing does, and what's prompted the call.

2 Weeks one and two The audit

The channels, the spend, the site, the data, the team, the work. Two weeks of proper digging.

3 End of week two Your plan

What's wrong, what it's costing, what to fix first. Plain English. Yours to keep either way.

4 Every month We get on with it

Decisions made with you. The work goes to whoever should be doing it, in house or bought in, and gets briefed properly.

5 All the way through Someone to ring

Before you sign anything, or when a supplier tells you something that sounds wrong. This is the bit people use most.

Who we work with

Different sectors, different headaches. Here's what we usually walk into.

What you'll gain

Here's what you get for your money.
Somebody senior in your corner The judgement of a marketing director. Nothing like the cost of one.
A plan that survives contact with the board What you're doing, what it costs, what it should bring back. You can defend it without us there.
Money in better places Nearly everyone is paying for something they forgot about. Sometimes that alone covers the fee.
A team that can carry it The right people, doing the right jobs, knowing what they're aiming at. Your team gets stronger whether we stay or not.
The mistakes already made for you Fifteen years of watching this go wrong in other businesses. You skip the expensive bit.
Whichever bits matter most to you, we'll know which ones after the initial call.

Frequently asked questions

How much does marketing consultancy cost?

From £2,500 plus VAT a month, no minimum term. Before that there's a paid audit, which is a one off cost and gives you a written plan whether you carry on or not. The first call is free.

What does a marketing consultant actually do?

Works out what your marketing should be doing, in what order, and at what cost. That means looking properly at what's happening now, agreeing a plan, and then making sure it gets done by the right people.

Do you deliver the marketing as well?

Sometimes. If it's something we're properly good at and it makes sense for us to do it, we'll quote. If somebody else would do it better, we'll say so and find them. The advice comes first either way, and it doesn't change based on who ends up doing the work.

Why do I have to pay for the audit?

Two weeks of real work. Free audits are sales documents with the conclusion written before anyone looked. You get a plan at the end, and it's yours whether you carry on or not.

Who is marketing consultancy for?

Businesses spending money on marketing with nobody senior directing it. Usually five to fifty staff, often with a marketing manager or a small team who've been left to work it out alone.

Is there a minimum term?

No. It's monthly and you can stop when the work's done. Most stay about six months, because that's how long it takes to fix anything and see it land.

Who will I be working with?

Whoever fits your business. You get matched to someone who knows your sector or your particular problem, not whoever's free that week.

How is this different from hiring an agency?

An agency starts with what it sells. We start with what your business needs, which is sometimes an agency, sometimes a hire, and sometimes stopping something you're already paying for. We'll tell you when somebody else is better placed than us, because getting that wrong costs you more than it costs us.

Can you help us hire a marketing team?

Yes. Working out what the roles should be, what they should cost, writing the specs, sitting in on interviews, and getting the first ninety days right. Building the team properly is often cheaper than buying the work in year after year.

Can you work with our existing agency or freelancer?

Yes, and often that's the job. Sometimes the supplier is fine and the brief was rubbish. We'll tell you which.
